About Ian Marriott

Ian Marriott has been writing poems for over 20 years. Part of his internal process is that personal experience is often refracted directly or indirectly through the natural world. Much of his life has been immersed in nature from working as a woodsman or climber to spending time in some of the more remote areas of the world. This has included three years living in Antarctica guiding scientists on remote field projects for the British Antarctic Survey. On returning from Antarctica Ian did an MA in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia under the careful guidance of Denise Riley and George Szirtes. In recent years Ian has re-trained as a homeopath and divides his time between writing homeopathy and the outdoors.
